R. The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.
Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those that sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.
Psalm 126: 4-5
We are invited to celebrate the Paschal Mystery with an
ever deepening consciousness of what it means in our personal lives at this
time. Nowhere is the mystery of the coexistence of the white and gray more
clearly seen than in the dying and rising of Christ—the very heart of our
faith. As we celebrate the Paschal
Mystery, we call to mind God’s goodness, presence and transforming power in the
joys and challenges, the light and darkness of our lives.
In the love of Jesus,

For Reflection:
Recall some of the
times in your life when your tears were eventually turned into joy.
What does “Paschal
Mystery” currently look like in your personal life?
In the life of the
Church?
In the world?
Leaving Leaving my family home at 18 brought many tears. So did leaving most of the many homes I have lived I these past 50 years.But,in time, my tears were turned into joy as I came to know and love the new people in my life. One ofmy favorite reflectons on life's journey:"Life is such a continual goodbye, heaven must be an eternal hello." (From the spiritual writer, D.Dumm, I think)
